House of Sichuan/Macau Gourmet in Cupertino?

Sunday night I stopped off in Cupertino on my way back to the City intending to grab a bite at House of Sichuan. But, no dice, as the place was packed (as any good Chinese place should be on Sundays) and I didn't feel like waiting.

I did grab a couple menus before moving on. Recently they've brought in a Cantonese chef and offer a full Cantonese menu alongside the Sichuan food, including dim sum. Given the name, I was hoping to see some Macau-style dishes, but nothing on the menu jumps out at me.

This classic coconut cake features a homemade frosting made from sugar, lemon juice, egg whites, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut. Perfect for parties or as an after-dinner dessert.
